      Counselor Interview

      Nov 1, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Daytona Beach, FL
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Job Corps (Daytona Beach, FL) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      I applied through Indeed, and about ten days later a "Mr. Z" called me and described the position and asked if I were still interested. I was scheduled for an interview the next week, and met with an HR person and the director. The director asked basic interview questions while the HR person scribbled notes. The interview lasted for 15-20 minutes and I gave the HR person my transcripts and references. She escorted me out. I do not know the results yet, but was told they usually make a decision within 3 weeks.
